University of Wyoming enrollment comes up short - Thaddeus Mast, Laramie Boomerang

The University of Wyoming’s 2016 fall enrollment is down more than 400 students from this time last year. “As of our May 30 comparison date, we were down about 359 students with the year-to date comparison for fall 2016 on the Laramie campus and down about 120 students in outreach,” said Sara Axelson, University of Wyoming vice president for student affairs. “That’s not acceptable, but we have many efforts in place.” Axelson explained that several reasons make the number seem misleading, and she expects the number to quickly rise.
